Reading between the Lines: The Case for Qualitative Research in Intensive Family Preservation Services.

Wells, Kathleen; Freer, Richard

Children and Youth Services Review, v16 n5-6 p399-415 1994

Focuses on current knowledge of families' involvement in intensive family preservation services. Identifies gaps in knowledge pertaining to the context of service delivery, the theory of family preservation practice, the process of service delivery, and the conceptualization and meaning of service outcomes. Suggests that gaps might be appropriately filled by exploration with qualitative methodologies. (AA)
